Hey Doug: That new nose is looking good! I hope to install the interior I bought from you in a couple months (after the body is re-sprayed). A lot of it needed some serious work (except for the dash and console) with busted panels and scarred/scratched leather. When its done it will be all good.

Back from the paint shop and it came out great. Even covered in pollen for the pics it looks great. Now I need to find the time to put everything back together. I will be putting the black leather seats from my Euro S into this and putting these striped into the '79 that I have sold.

That is so awesome! Those raised letters from Nicole would make the rear bumper cover look stock. Very cool look

That was simply some type of filler that had cracked after 20+ years. He simply cut it out and refilled. The whole body has some sort of skim coat on it.

Sniffle sniffle It's so beautiful. Those Lightweight III wheels make the look of that car. Not that I didn't like the Azev's in the first place. Very nice.

I am very curious about the trim piece you have at the bottom of the windscreen. Does that hide the wipers or how does that work? My most serious complaint about the lines of the 928 is the wipers just sticking out there and looking like an afterthought.

That is just the cowl cover that was repainted and has not been installed. It is just resting on top.
